As we think about the education in which we received when we were in school, it is only fitting for us to see that society has changed tremendously. There was once a time where our teachers would stand before us and lecture, we would take pencil and paper test, and computers were a mere fantasy. Now Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and texting have captivated the minds of our students. Therefore, in order to properly educate students, we must cater to their interests, learning styles, and preferences. Therefore, this project, "Making Connections through Invisible Walls" embodies the needs of our 21st century learners. Engagement, interaction, collaboration, researching, and writing, are all skills that will be illuminated while embarking upon this project, thus allowing students to learn creatively and effectively in a non traditional manner.
